I would frequently check the router charts when trying to determine a router to get. Some of the specs I would look at would be... "max connections", "wan to lan throughput", and "total simultaneous." But doesn't driver/firmware greatly affect these specs?
I eventually settled on a Asus RT-AC68P despite it doing worse on some of the specs compared to other similar routers. I rationalized that after driver/firmware gets improved that it's 1 Ghz chip would probably perform just as good as the Netgear 7000 with the 1 Ghz chip.
Should SNB update the tests as time & firmware changes?... or would that be too much work.... or is my belief BS?
